8 The test-bed must allow all the required pressures to be reached ( x PN) and incorporate all the necessary accessories for the correct running of the tests: vents, water and air connections, manometers, receptacles with the necessary quantity of water, The VALVES to be tested will be completely assembled, preferably with their actuators/gear box/levers, with the exceptions due to safety or capacity reasons; in this case alternative FUNCTIONAL tests will be done out of the The VALVES must be clean and free of any dirt which could distort the results. In the case of ferritic materials, these are protected from rust with a suitable It must be checked that the manometers to be used are calibrated, the calibration is in use and the pressures to be measured are located between 30 and 70 % of the top of the manometer scale.

9 When the test PRESSURE value is situated between two divisions of the scale, it will be rounded off to the next higher Quality of TESTING water: VALVES of ferritic materials: Pottable water with corrosion inhibitor. Stainless steel VALVES : Pottable water with/without corrosion inhibitor. Hydrostatic test shall be carried out with potable water with corrosion inhibitor diluted at 3%.6. The tests required as per the guidelines specified in the customer order will be carried out, which the PRESSURE values and TESTING times that are detailed in the corresponding AP/PT6 Technical Instruction & API 6D to this instruction and following the sequence of time After the satisfactory tests, the internal and external parts of the VALVES will be cleaned and dried and they will then be identified and transferred for ANTISTATIC TEST(Optional) The electrical resistance between ball and stem to the stem and body shall not exceed 10.

10 Sequence: The resistance shall be measured on dry VALVES before PRESSURE TESTING . The electrical resistance shall be measured using a direct-current power source not exceeding FULL END THRUST TESTThe valve has to undergo Full end thrust function test after fitting the valve ends with the flanges. It is preferable to perform function test during the ambient shell test as described in SHELL TIGHTNESS TEST(Optional)1. The valve inlet and outlet are closed off with The valve is adjusted until the ball is in a half open Instruction AP/IT 01/00 Review:00 Date:05/03/19 Page:2/4 Issued by:GPApproved by:BT3. The valve is submerged in water, at room temperature, for the period of time shown in AP/PT6 Technical Instruction as per API The internal part of the valve is filled with dry, clean and oil free nitrogen or air, to the PRESSURE indicated in AP/PT6 Technical Instruction & API 6D.
